(e) At our annual meeting of shareholders on May 21, 2009, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, which modified the plan as follows:

•		The number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the plan was increased by 1,000,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares.
•		The limit on awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units was changed from an overall limit to an annual limit. As a result, during any single calendar year, such awards may now be made with respect to up to 500,000 shares of common stock.

A copy of the amendment was included as Appendix A to the proxy statement for the annual meeting, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 2009.
